Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 47 - : Addressing Him as Husband, Exchanging Elixirs! (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Addressing Him as Husband, Exchanging Elixirs! (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Atop the Gu Family Square, guests filled every seat.

Under the gaze of numerous forces, Gu Changge and Liu Qingqing, holding the embroidered ball, walked onto the high stage.

But there was something clearly special about that stage.

The seats meant for the parents of both parties were empty on one side.

On the Liu Family’s side, only Zhao Ling sat alone.

And on the Gu Family side, it was Gu Kuang who sat there.

Today, Gu Kuang couldn’t stop smiling, feeling as though the heavens had finally opened their eyes to his most guilt-ridden grandson.

Since Gu Changge was about to take the position of Young Master of the Gu Family, this marriage was personally organized by the Family Head Gu Zhan.

“Bow to the heavens and earth.”

After ensuring both of them were in place, Gu Zhan’s deep voice, infused with a hint of a smile and amplified by spiritual energy, resonated in the ears of every member of the Gu Family.

Upon hearing this, the couple bowed respectfully.

“Bow to the high hall,” said Gu Zhan as his voice echoed once more.

They turned toward Zhao Ling and Gu Kuang, who were seated there, and bowed with reverence.

“Good… good.”

“Jian’er below the spring must be happy for these children.”

Gu Kuang laughed heartily, yet his aged eyes held a hint of mist that flickered in and out of view.

“Good children, all good children…”

“They too can rest easy now.”

At this moment, Zhao Ling seemed to put down the heavy burden in her heart. Every day of these years, she reproached herself.

Why was she the only one left in this world?

This moment made her understand that she needed to stay and see these two children with her own eyes, to see them lead better lives.

“The couple bows to each other!”

As Gu Zhan’s voice rose again,

the two figures, under the watchful eyes of countless guests, completed their mutual bow.

“The ceremony is complete!”

After speaking, Gu Zhan softly added to Gu Changge, “Take the Liu Family girl back to the wedding chamber first.”

Gu Changge nodded slightly, circling around the high stage, and amid the noise and congratulations, he led the way with the embroidered ball, escorting his wife onto the palanquin.

The many forces present at the banquet began to clink cups and toast to each other.

The Little Princess of the Northern Domain also silently witnessed everything at the banquet, offering neither congratulations nor words, just silently holding her wine cup and suddenly letting out a wry smile.

Being a Princess, she knew such spectacles wouldn’t await her own political marriage. She could only silently and obediently follow her Emperor Father’s directives.

Forget it, forget it, resistance is futile anyway; she resigned to her fate.

Before long, Gu Changge returned to the courtyard and lifted Liu Qingqing off the palanquin, entering the compound with the ceremonial children closing the door behind them.

Inside the room, Gu Changge, unable to let go, set the beautiful woman down on the bed.

The atmosphere became somewhat silent for a moment.

Not to mention Liu Qingqing, even Gu Changge himself felt somewhat nervous.

“You should be going back to the banquet…” Liu Qingqing spoke in a soft voice.

Gu Changge didn’t respond, instead, he gently lifted the red veil, meeting eyes with the beauty beneath it.

“Wife, you should start calling me Husband now.”

“We are, after all, a Daoist couple who have bowed to the heavens and the earth.”

But Liu Qingqing just hesitated for a moment, flustered as she tried to fix the red veil back in place.

She even muttered, “We shouldn’t lift the veil yet…”

“It’s fine, there’s no one else here.”

“Just say ‘Husband’, let me hear it.”

Gu Changge didn’t care, simply taking the red veil and placing it on the wooden table nearby.

“…”

“Hu… Husband.”

Liu Qingqing’s face turned a shade of pink, her voice barely above a whisper.

Yet she finally managed to speak the word.

“What did my wife say?”

“I didn’t catch that.”

Gu Changge hooked the corner of his mouth, his face inching closer, and Liu Qingqing could even feel his breath on her face.

Despite feeling bashful, her voice was slightly louder, “Husband, you should attend the feast now.”

Her heart was pounding, and she just wanted to send this guy away quickly to calm down.

“My wife is too adorable, I really can’t bear to leave…”

Hearing the word “Husband,” Gu Changge felt extremely delighted.

Especially now, as Liu Qingqing was dressed in a bright red wedding garment, her cheeks slightly flushed with shyness—a stark contrast from her usual aloof presence in front of others—it truly posed an enchanting scene.

Even though he couldn’t help teasing her with his words.

His heart had already started silently calculating his wife’s current panel values.

[Root Bone: 96]

[Comprehension: 90]

Since they were now married, their wedding night was the perfect opportunity. This small courtyard had an Isolation Array laid out by grandfather, and even those at the Heavenly Gate Realm couldn’t detect anything. No one would dare to probe today!

No matter how bashful Liu Qingqing was, lowering her head and too embarrassed to speak, he had already silently calculated everything in his mind.

Therefore, he silently willed, “Exchange three Yellow Grade Root Bone Pills and nine Yellow Grade Comprehension Pills, and one of each at the second grade.”

[Root Bone Pill Yellow Grade X3, Second Grade X1]

[Comprehension Pill Yellow Grade X9, Second Grade X1]

[Total Attribute Points spent: 640, Remaining Attribute Points: 173.]

[Elixirs have been automatically stored in the System Space.]

As the system notification rang out, a dozen more elixirs suddenly appeared in his System Space!

And this time, it was the largest sum he had ever spent!

He used up almost all of his remaining Attribute Points, nearly emptying his balance!

But this expense would certainly bring him tremendous gains!

Gu Changge took out all the elixirs, a total of two wooden boxes.

He had discovered last time that the elixirs exchanged did not come with any container, so he directly saved some wooden boxes to store ordinary elixirs in his Space Ring.

“I said before, on our wedding day, I would give my wife a great opportunity.”

“These elixirs, my wife can take advantage of the interference-free wedding night to consume them.”

“When I return, there will be another chance for me to present.”

Gu Changge turned and smiled, gesturing toward the two wooden boxes on the table.

“Elixirs?”

Liu Qingqing looked at the wooden boxes with some confusion. Elixirs stored in wooden boxes were usually just common Yellow Grade elixirs.

“If something feels off when taking them, you can wait for me to come back.”

With that, Gu Changge swirled his wedding garment’s red sleeve and strode away, gently closing the room door behind him as he left the courtyard.

After he had left, Liu Qingqing took a while to calm her heart.

Looking in the bronze mirror, she was slightly lost in thought for a moment.

“Tonight…”

“Do I really have to use those skills from the book…”

Thinking this, she felt her cheeks burning hot. Only two days before, through a Marriage Manual given by her mother, did she realize that there were many other ways for a married couple to bond, beyond just consummating the marriage…

But… that would be embarrassingly shy!

She shook her head fiercely, casting aside these thoughts, then stood up and walked over to the table.

She gently opened a wooden box, and the elixirs inside looked somewhat familiar.

“Pills for strengthening the body?”

She murmured to herself, recalling the elixir he had given her before.

Last time, after she took the elixir, she faintly felt as if her Root Bone had improved a bit.

But such elixirs, when taken repeatedly, usually don’t offer more than ten percent of the effects.

These looked the same, what a waste…

Some of them seemed a bit different from before, and she couldn’t determine their grade, only smelling a faint Elixir Fragrance.

Without dwelling on it too much, she reached out with slender fingers, picked up one, and placed it in her mouth.

It was the familiar sensation; as soon as the elixir entered her mouth, it transformed into Spiritual Liquid and slid straight into her belly.

“My Root Bone… it really improved again!?”

Liu Qingqing’s eyes brightened, this time because she had been paying special attention while taking it, her perception was very clear!

Her Root Bone had indeed improved, and although the effect was not as significant as that of the Soul-Shaping Pill, if she were to take a second Soul-Shaping Pill now, the resulting effect might not compare to this enhancement!
